1958 Map of Comins Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Comins Lake and the high desert basins of White Pine County define this mid-century topographic record, which documents a landscape transitioning from pioneer ranching to industrial mining. The eastern edge of Ely and East Ely appears in the northwest, while the central valley is anchored by the CCC Ranch and the riparian corridor of Steptoe Creek. The map provides specific location data for several historical mining operations in the Duck Creek Range, including a cluster of named shafts such as Joe Shaft, John Shaft, and the Josephine Shaft. Genealogists and industrial historians can trace the foundations of the local economy through the identified Argus Mill (Site) and Monitor Mill (Site), alongside numerous named water sources like Shallenberger Spring and Fish Pond Springs that were critical for survival and industry in this arid terrain.
